Is it lime or is it gold?

I had to wait on flossin, cause it isn't quite finished yet. Still need to finish the detailing, wetsand and clear coat. and the gear shroud needs smoothing and painting. The color shift is sweet outside in daylight.

Is that the chameleon type paint that changes color depending on the angle?

Those fender flares help the look out. Maybe I should do that.

Yeah I have seen this thing up close, fuckin Sick, that's al I can say. Hiroto and his monster fender flares is something to see in person. The gear covers is a sweet idea too, definetly needed for the Maine snow romping this sucker is in for. Nice paint choice as well man, real nice.

HirotoR34, That came out great. I have always like that color mysef. great job again. Can you tell me how you made the fender flares.

HirotoR34 · Post by **HirotoR34** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 3:05 pm

Squadron putty from the LHS and a lot of patience. I use ZZ packaging on the inside of the shell to back the putty. I glop it on and shape it the best I can while it's still soft. Then after drying, I use files and sanding boards made from ZZ packaging with different grits of sandpaper glued to them to get the shape smooth. It's a lot of work, but worth the effort.

BTW: What did you make the rollbar and lights out of on your Silverado MT? I want to add those and side steps to a couple of my other MT's

@ SG219: It's just a prototype right now. I'm working on the finished peice.

I grabbed some emery boards from the $1.00 store a few months back and have yet to use them. I have figured out a way to get rid of those pesky window scratches we sometimes get when modding.

I tape all the windows twice to keep from hitting them with whatever I''m sanding with. When the body work is all done, I take the old tape off and re-tape for paint.
